Only reason it’s going on is bc it’s privately funded. Stop getting mad at the president for everything when a lot of shit going wrong is Congress. Trump is an ass. A lunatic. Overstepping his powers. But Congress is the one fucking you over right now. Not him. Call your god damn representatives people
1) tbh no, it’s pretty established economic theory that the least utility-discouraging tax is a consumption tax. Corporate taxes create unnecessary deadweight loss. If you want to tax the rich put a 200% luxury tax on private jets or smth 2) I don’t mind more value being accrued to those who create value
What does the capital do? Get put into assets that are useful to the world. The rich don’t sit on cash in the bank. They put the money into offices and tech and infrastructure and institutions that we use every day. Markets are efficient, if you create value you will capture it. If you’re not capturing value, you’re probably not creating it. Value is created by doing things more productive than the next best alternative. If anyone can do your job, you’re not adding much value by being there
So you’re saying you prefer having the country only *possibly* bettered by people who are known to hoard wealth over the government doing that themselves by taking some of the money that cannot be feasibly spent within their lifetime off the hands of the 1%? Like. Idk. I like it when my government actually *does* something for me, so I don’t have to rely on selfish assholes to do it for them
